What Is Captive Insurance?

Put simply, a captive is a formal structure to finance self-insured risks.

At the core, captives are risk-management vehicles; licensed insurance companies owned by non-insurance organizations to finance risk. Adopted as a long-term strategy, a captive allows your organization to take advantage of a better-than-average claim history, secure traditionally difficult-to-obtain risk coverage, and explore alternative risk-financing solutions. Through a captive, your organization can strengthen its financial performance while protecting your assets.

How We Do It: The Captive Process

Feasibility Study

The feasibility study is a core component of the alternative risk strategy. We’ll evaluate exposures, coverage needs, your current program and additional factors, such as cost considerations, domicile considerations and overall structure. Together, we can decide if a captive is the right solution for you.

Implementation

Once we know a captive is the right solution, we draft a business plan and policies, meet with the domicile regulators, select service providers and submit a formal business plan.

Management & Operations

We are by your side throughout the life of your captive, coordinating all service providers, board meetings and renewal processes. We liaise and ensure compliance with the domicile regulators and oversee your captive's ongoing financial, underwriting and corporate administration. If needed, we coordinate the eventual exit of a captive as well.

Hylant's Global Captive Solutions team evaluates your exposures, coverage needs, cash flow requirements and current program to determine the potential applicability of a captive solution.

We advise you on the viability of various alternative risk programs and any structuring, financing, management and regulatory requirements they would entail.

We custom design a program that ensures you have the most cost-effective coverage for your needs. We will review the most critical and advantageous onshore or offshore domicile for you if a captive is your best option.

We offer a wide range of implementation services for alternative risk programs. As the captive manager, our implementation services include selecting and coordinating all service providers needed for operations, drafting policies, developing and submitting the business plan, meeting the domicile regulators and facilitating the incorporation of the insurance company.

From coordinating service providers to liaising with domicile regulators and handling the administration of the financial, underwriting and corporate aspects of your captive, we address the day-to-day elements of captive operations so you can focus on your business.

Once you’re ready to withdraw from a captive, we will ensure a painless process. If a decision is made to close a captive, several techniques can be used to achieve this goal, including commutations, novations, selling of the captive and reinsurance.
